Phys.org / Female astronauts face clotting risks, five-day weightlessness simulation suggests
Just a few days in simulated microgravity can subtly change the way women's blood clots, sparking bigger questions about health monitoring protocols for astronauts who can spend six months or more in orbit, say Simon Fraser ...
Phys.org / What Geminga's 100 TeV cutoff may mean for cosmic-ray acceleration in the Milky Way
For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo surrounding the Geminga pulsar ...
Medical Xpress / The algorithm will see you now? Patients say not without a doctor nearby
Artificial intelligence may be reshaping modern medicine, but when it comes to their own health, patients still want to know a real person is watching the screen. Researchers at the University of Michigan and Michigan State ...
Phys.org / The secret lives of catalysts: How microscopic networks power reactions
Catalysts are essential to modern industry, accelerating reactions used to produce everything from fertilizers and fuels to medicines and hydrogen energy. But until now, scientists could not directly observe how reactions ...
Phys.org / Heavier hydrogen makes silicon T centers shine brighter for quantum networks
Quantum technologies, computers or other devices that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, rely on the precise control of light and matter. Over the past decades, quantum physicists and material scientists have ...
Medical Xpress / Cost of physical therapy varies widely from state to state, study finds
Physical therapy (PT) is used in the management of many medical conditions. But variation in rates paid by commercial insurers can contribute to high out-of-pocket costs, leading some patients to underuse or stop PT altogether. ...
Medical Xpress / Spray-on 'immune-shield' coats transplant organs to curb rejection
A new technology has been developed to suppress immune rejection, the biggest challenge in organ transplantation, without causing systemic side effects. A research team from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) ...
Medical Xpress / Light-sensing genes may connect three childhood tumor types
Research uncovering the origin of pineoblastoma, a rare pediatric brain tumor, has also revealed a dependency across multiple brain tumor types that share a similar molecular program. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research ...
Tech Xplore / Breaking down the battery problem: Cheaper, more efficient cathodes could cut costs
Consider the humble rechargeable battery: Many people start their day by unplugging their phone from a charger to check the weather or commute to work, or throw on their favorite podcast. They'll end the day by plugging in ...
Medical Xpress / Multiple types of post-amputation pain revealed, each needing different treatment
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have identified a critical gap in how post-amputation pain is evaluated and treated. The study shows that pain after lower limb amputation is not a single uniform condition ...
Phys.org / Natural dye produced by Amazonian fungus can be used in cosmetics
Initial tests with a natural dye produced by the Amazonian fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae show that eco-friendly cosmetics, such as face creams, gel sticks, and shampoos, can be developed with antioxidant and antibacterial ...
Phys.org / Researchers thought inbred koalas were at risk of extinction—what they discovered upends genetic conventions
If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a "koala paradox": endangered in the north of Australia, abundant in the south; genetically diverse in some regions, ...
